Grace
Grace
We believe grace truly is amazing! God’s election is one of grace – calling us out of darkness into His marvelous light. The Doctrines of Grace hold a prominent place within our doctrine, our worldview, and our worship.
Covenant
We rejoice in Christ’s fulfillment of the New Covenant. By his shed blood, we enjoy the benefits of His righteousness imputed to us. Each time we observe the Lord’s Supper we are reminded of that precious gift, and the covenant that binds every believer of all time together in Christ Jesus.
Covenant
Baptist
Baptist
While we have much in common with the broader Reformed community of faith, we are distinctively Baptist. We hold to regenerative church membership, meaning that we believe regeneration leading to faith and repentance should precede a person’s baptism. We also believe that baptism by immersion is the biblical model and a consistent meaning of the original Greek word baptizo.
Church
Chosen in Him before the foundation of the world. Predestined for adoption as sons and conformity to the image of His Son. Called. Justified. Glorified. These are words that describe all of God’s chosen people of all time. From Abraham until today, God has drawn a people to himself. They are the ecclesia – the called-out ones. And ecclesia is translated into English as the Church.
